“Oh,no.They live in different rooms but in the same building.” I reacted quickly.
Later I got to know the word “dormitory”.In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English (BE).
The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE),which,as we know,is much related to BE.
